Poltava Regiment
The Poltava Regiment (Ukrainian: Полтавський полк) was
one of ten territorial-administrative subdivisions of the Cossack
Hetmanate. The regiment's capital was the city of Poltava, now in
Poltava Oblast of central Ukraine.
The Poltava Regiment was founded in 1648 during the Khmelnytsky
Uprising. Following the signing of the Treaty of Zboriv in 1649 it
consisted of 19 sotnias, and had 2970 registered cossacks. In 1775,
the regiment was officially abolished, and its territory was reformed
into the Little Russia Governorate.
